I just dug out some favorite music and came across these golden words:

“You don’t ask a drowning man if he wants to be saved when you know he’s sinking down—down beneath the crashing waves.

“Betrayal wears two faces, both easy to explain. One is what you say and do to bring another human pain. When you refuse to act, though you know the good to do—when you refuse to speak what’s right, you’ve worn the face of number two.

“You don’t ask a drowning man if he wants to be saved when you know he’s sinking down—down beneath the crashing waves.”

Charlie Peacock

From the album, THE SECRET OF TIME, Lyrics from Drowning Man, 1990 by Sparrow Corporation

What a heartbreaking thought in the Christmas season. I won’t offer answers because I don’t know what’s going on in your life. There may not be an answer except the response given by Job. Many of us have faced that same feeling at times in our lives and I am no exception. I’m sorry. My only observation is to keep your life in proportion to the being of God and to know what a sacrifice He made to become Immanuel, “God with us.” God bless you and restore you.
